Had an argument with a riding buddy who's an anti-vaxxer today. It's been brewing for a while. I tried to show compassion and understanding, but let me tell you, it was hard in the heat of battle! In the end, I could see he was more interested in arguing than riding, so I decided to head back to the carpark. I rode down some nice, rocky trails, and by the time I got back to the car my head had cooled down, so I texted him to wish him a Happy Christmas. He's a great riding buddy, so I'd rather keep riding with him if I can -- as long as every ride doesn't disintegrate into anti-vax again!
